Nepal Top
Reviewed by Gerhard, Mar 30, 2004
"It's the old problem: Should a shoe fit right away or do we have to allow several hikes to achieve that? Personally, I believe that a well fitting shoe gives you very few problems even during its first use. (Some models by Scarpa confirmed this idea) The Nepal Top is a very technical boot with almost no flex and no rocker; therefore they make your feet very clumsy when walking, like walking in ski boots and this becomes quite tiring soon."

"For those of you who are seriously looking to get ice climbing boots and are deciding on the Nepal, or any other brand for that matter. I am going to be honest. Any stiff rigid boot takes time to break in. I don't believe when they say "comfortable right out of the box"."

"I bought my first pair of these boots about 6 years ago and bought them also for very very cheap (~250can). . . right out of the box I was amazed at the comfort and confidence they gave me. . . I used them extensively for most of my climbing trips in the Cascades and Coast mountains."

"I somehow lucked out with these boots. Initially purchased for mixed routes and technical stuff, these boots soon obsessed me. Now I do almost anything that brings me near snow with these babies. I tend to get myself into long approaches followed by brief moments of glory."

"After a disastrous experiance with a pair of scarpa Fitzroys which now feel and bend like carpet slippers!! I bought - reluctantly - Nepal Tops.
I feel its still a little too early to be completely satisfied But while I'm always aware of the weight I havent had any blisters yet!! Rock climbing in them is a dream, walking."

"I love these boots... they're perfect for the type of conditions I climb in... I love the fact that I can actually walk in the things... They allow French technique on ice. And they frontpoint as well as any of the plastic boots my buddies wear."

"I've had these boots now for several seasons - I was lucky enough to buy them from a shop who had ordered them directly from Italy, and therefore the price was an absolute steal at only $230 Canadian!!! Now they are $460, but I'm laughin'. I found the boots very comfortable right out of the box; in fact, I took them on an all-day steep climb/hike/scramble for their first trip and was amazed that there were no blisters, pressure points, etc."
